Leadership can do amazing things-- it can inspire others to lead, take action and the results are exponential improvement! Leadership can also divide. One of the brightest young leaders I have gotten to know is Dalton Glasscock. He has experience in levels of leadership ranging from local to international. That experience shapes you. It has shaped Dalton. He is entrepreneurial and thoughtful and that makes him a leader we should embrace.

"You are never the 'only one' when you are an entrepreneur."

Curiosity remains one of the most valuable tools in life. Curiosity coupled with determination and follow through-- now we are talking about success. Jacob Christian became an entrepreneur because of his incessant curiosity and the consistent follow through. Jacob studied entrepreneurship, received the coveted Jabara Scholarship at Wichita State University, became a founder and his entrepreneurial life began. His creativity and curiosity are now focussed on a new startup, revelar.co (to reveal). The cutting edge of technology, culture, currencies and the future of gaming is the life Jacob has designed. He shares with us what digital value is and how you can participate and contribute in creating digital value of your own.

When James came to Wichita he created StartUp Week. StartUp Week gives all of us a chance to connect with founders and entrepreneurs and all of the resources here supporting your ideas and the implementation of your innovative solutions.

"I've got to take responsibility for the part I control"

Anyone can diagnose the obvious. Life is not that black and white. We are complex. Life is complex. We would all be better served being empathetic not because it makes you a benevolent human but because nuance is a difficult input for which to account.

Jenny's book and her experiences bring value to those of us working at this thing we call Life. So keep working at it and involve people in this process— each in their proper role.

Business can be tough. Entrepreneurship is tough. Those who succeed, persevere and always have gratitude. It is a joy to talk with Ashley Moore and Samantha Lucciarini together because they are living, daily examples of doing the work and accepting the results no matter how they come— that is gratitude. A lot of important words apply to these women: courage, discipline, commitment, vulnerability, gratitude and love. Enjoy this conversation and find people like these two women to bring into your life.

Yes I love technology, but not as much as you, you see… and thank you Kip for the lead in because technology is more important to engage with more now than ever because it is in EVERYTHING we do. As one of our guests pointed out, technology just 10 years ago was trying to figure out what wire plugs into what port so we can get our printer networked with more than one computer. Today you are not searching ports and plug ins you are seeking dynamic tech that is giving us feedback at a rapid rate and we are trying to respond (more like REACT) to it. It's moving fast and only getting faster. Flagship Kansas is the organization bringing people together so that the technology we use and the companies that create it don't end up in a vortex of ones and zeros and further pushing out humanity— Flagship Kansas celebrates the human aspect of technology and they bring incredible leaders together so that you can still love technology and be apart of the human experiment that uses and improves with technology. The State of Kansas is at the forefront of connecting people, entrepreneurs and institutions with technology and we want others to participate. Engage with FLAGSHIPKANSAS.TECH

Before any of us can accomplish anything in life we need to function. And I am certain that the majority of us are not functioning as well as our bodies, minds and spirits can. This takes education and a willingness to modify your behaviors and it is a lifelong journey. I am grateful for these two thoughtful people who have dedicated their lives to transforming the lives of the people who are ready to function better.

"It's not what you know, it's how you know it."

One of the most important things in life is clear thinking. Our friend Andrew Garvey has lived his life with curiosity and deep thought and by his own admission that is not about clear thinking-- that is about living life experiences. And when you have LIVED and your journey has filled your heart and mind, the time comes to BE. Andrew talks with us about his journey to find the meaning of life. The journey continues accept he has become content with the experiences and shares why his clear thinking is bringing him more joy now than any of the remarkable experiences he lived that brought him to where he is today. And we are glad he is here. And I highly recommend his SciFi novel Mind Control Empire available now.

Solving real problems cannot be done with a Top/Down strategy. You can manage problems Top/Down but you do not solve anything. Problem solving requires people relating to one another so the very thick layer of Irrational-Ego-Fear-Ignorance that befalls each of us is trimmed away through dialogue.

Americans For Prosperity seeks to educate people through a grassroots campaign— relating to people and the issues of the day face to face. AFP has proven that grassroots efforts create sustainable agreement. As culture swirls like water in a river, relating to people gives citizens of the United States continued opportunity to impress Principals into the issues that materialize. Elizabeth Patton, State Director, Americans For Prosperity, shares with us why their grassroots efforts are successful in preserving Freedom in communities all across the United States. Civility is key to the development of ideas and Deputy Director John Luth exemplifies that in this conversation. We can advance Prosperity one conversation at a time.
